Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

I do hope i 'm not intruding here - don't know much about running really :) :) :)

I for one don't and never have gone by schedules - though i hear they are good, and for those that do and enjoy them - best wishes to you

I just don't get much time for anything now-a-days

4 marathons so far this year - 3 maybe 4 more to come ! LMAO :)

Juicer > You should keep tired legs moving as the blood flow will help remove and "bad stuff" from the muscles. This will aid recovery. Just don't push it too hard. I don't really suffer with DOMS to the extend that my legs feel heavy. I always keep moving after races & hard workouts. I walk to & from work (2 miles each way) every day so that helps too as it's pretty much non-impact

Agree with SP.

And of course don't forget compression socks/shorts/tights as well.

What about this 'general aerobic' pace that the endurance phase builds? I see it's described as just 'banging out the miles' pace. I would imagine that's probably near to my current marathon pace, but not my target one.

I recently ran a 4.10 (9.30 m/miles) marathon without training specifically for it (though with lots of endurance training for another longer event). I'm hoping that with targetted training I can get this down to under 4 hours (<9.09m/m). What sort of pace do you think my general aerobic runs should be?

Cheers all, it's like having personal trainers :-)

I take GE to be faster than LSR pace but prob slower than MP. Having said that I often did my GE runs the day after a hard session (due to time contraints) so they tended to be more at LSR pace as I was tierd.

I think next time round, if I dont do the GE the day after the tempo run I will try to do some of the GE at MP to get used to running at MP, so I might do a WU and CD at LSR pace then a MP bit in the middle so the overall average pace wil be between MP and LSRpace, but I felt MP runs were lacking from the schedule so thats why I want to do that
